Jacoby used to battle one on one with Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Ed too Tall Jones twice a year.
I am not sure there is anyone in the NFC east right now that is as good as Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White.
When both are healthy TW is maybe a little better than Jacoby, but TW has had some knee problems that have made him miss some time and makes him susceptible to injury. Jacoby did not.
It is very close.

Glad you mentioned this. Jacoby was just so far ahead of his time. He's a HOF player, Trent I'm not so sure. I think Trent gets hurt cause he plays on so so teams. On top of that the quality of the defenses that Jacoby played against were 2nd to none. People may not remember but the Eagles literally had some of the best defenses ever back in those days. Truly great defenses. We all know about the Giants cause they won a couple SB's.

This is why you always draft QB's and somehow our front office doesn't do this. Frankly it's just dumb. Stan Humphries was a good player and he was also traded. You should always have 3 QB's on your roster, a starter, a back up that could be older like Colt, and then a young guy who's there to sit, learn and compete in camp.

Just using Tom Brady as another example, that first year in 2000 they wasted a roster spot because they felt he had value. Well the rest is history but you should always have a young QB waiting in the wings. Just more nonsense by our front office not to have one.

If I were Snyder I would demand that Jay has 3 QB's and a effing fullback.

I can’t argue against that...but the way TW gets out in space at second level or contorts to reach a blocker in small spaces...doing that at his size. It’s kray

To add, Jacoby played against the famed Bears 85-86 defense, Cowboys Doomsday defenses, , 49ers Montana and Young teams. Before salary cap the top teams were better and deeper than today.
There were Dynasty teams and there were multiple multiple dynasty teams. Teams stayed together. Look at the Patroits and Eagles championship teams from last two year already lost players.

Over 50% of Jacoby's snaps were against future NFL Hall of Famers. No other left tackle is close to that %.

Over 60% of the time people post stuff in the wrong thread every time.

Taking a break from the tackle talk, John Keim has a new podcast:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/...455645619?mt=2

I thought it was interesting the part where John talks about how there really isn't much out there in terms of Guard free agents. And that most of the ones are available are either coming off major injury and/or old.

I look forward to when this podcast will be on twice a week.

I think the answer here is why the heck not?

Should the Redskins try to re-sign Rashad Ross?

If we are giving serious looks to ex Tackles trying to play TE, then why aren't we giving Ross a strong look?
